The University Medical Centre (UMC) in Utrecht, Netherlands is investigating the possibility that an error has led to 26 women's eggs being fertilized by the "wrong" sperm:

A Dutch medical institution has launched an investigation after discovering that up to 26 women's eggs may have been fertilised by the wrong sperm at its IVF laboratory.

A "procedural error" between mid-April 2015 and mid-November 2016 during the in-vitro fertilisation was to blame, the University Medical Centre in Utrecht said. "During fertilisation, sperm cells from one treatment couple may have ended up with the egg cells of 26 other couples," said a statement. "Therefore there's a chance that the egg cells have been fertilised by sperm other than that of the intended father."

Although the chance of that happening was small the possibility "could not be excluded", said the centre.

    Bonus points if the donor sperm was from an obviously different race/ethnic background. ;-)

      Well, a cursory review of Dutch porn would show you that your statement is factually incorrect.......

      Dutch + Black gave me ~500k results in one site alone. I've only inspected about 200 results, but blackness is confirmed in Dutchland. It's in Dutchland, then out of Dutchland, then back into Dutchland, out of Dutchland, into Dutchland via the backdoor....... :)

          This isn't the worst instance. Awhile ago some fucking Jew mixed up some semen and stuck a bunch of Nordic women with autistic niggers. No, really, this actually happened, Google it.

          But the worst part was that the Nordic women kept the autistic niggers. They didn't take 'em out back and shoot 'em Ol' Yeller-style, they literally ruined their own lives to dedicate theirs to watching retard nigger-babies.
